Harness your horses. Mount up, you horsemen. Take your positions, and put on your helmets. Polish your spears. Put on your armor.

Son of man, prophecy and say, 'this is what Jehovah says: A sword, a sword is sharpened and also polished!

The sword was given to be polished, that it might be handled. The sword is sharpened and polished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

O son of man, prophesy. Announce what I, the Lord Jehovah, am saying to the Ammonites, who are insulting Israel. Say to them: A sword is ready to destroy. It is polished to kill and to flash like lightning.
